Word Food: Activist burnout & Patience
Pushback Talks Season 9 is here with "Word Food"! This season, Fredrik & Leilani return with their signature bite-sized episodes: sharp, surprising, 15-minute explorations of the words that shape our world. Each week, they pick a single word (or two) and unpack how its simple surface hides deeper social, political, and economic realities. Think of it as thought-provoking “intellectual snacking” - quick enough for your commute, rich enough to shift how you see power, privilege, and the systems around us. This week’s episode: Activist burnout: a discussion about their respective touching points with activist burnout. Patience: an emphasis on the value of patience in their line of work. New episodes drop every week. Make this your ritual for keeping your curiosity - and your resistance - alive! Support the show
